Twitter Users Mock Senator Rick Scott’s Potential Presidential Candidacy

Although Florida Sen. rick scott you can join the list already full of republicans running for the White House, he’s not getting much support on Twitter.

Thursday, The New York Times reported that the senator is considering whether to throw his hat into the ring. That would make him the fourth Republican candidate from Florida in the race, after former president donald trump, current governor ron desantis and the mayor of Miami Francis Suarez.

However, Scott He denied that he was thinking of a career to HuffPost political reporter Igor Bobic, saying “I’ve been clear, I’m running for Senate.” Still, if Scott declares his candidacy, he wouldn’t be the first politician to say one thing and then do another.

In addition to his fellow Floridians, Scott would be running against former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, former Vice President mike pencebusinessman Vivek Ramaswamy and former Texas congressman will hurd, who officially joined the race on Thursday.

But it seems the only people excited about a possible career for Scott are those who don’t really want him to win.

That’s because Scott’s record is littered with things that are largely unappealing to voters, like his proposals to “sunset” popular benefit programs like Medicare and Social Security, or raise taxes on poor Americans so they would have some “skin in the game”.

Critics could also try to undermine Scott’s career by pointing out his time as CEO of the Columbia/HCA companywhich paid more than $840 million in criminal fines and damages for illegal billing practices in 2000 and $881 million in a separate fine in 2002. Scott reportedly he took the Fifth 75 separate times during a statement linked to the company.

Given that track record, it’s no surprise that Twitter users had thoughts, with some saying The New York Times made no mention of the health care fraud allegations that your company faced.

Others just got… personal.

Some people welcomed him into the race for very selfish reasons.

And several users simply felt pain for those who might have to suffer during Scott’s presidential campaign.

But one person saw the potential career as a path to freedom, at least for Scott.
